"Resident Evil 5 Is Loosely Survival Horror"

Speaking with Major Nelson, Capcom's senior director for communications and community claimed: "Resident Evil 5 can still loosely be considered a survival horror game," adding, "However, compared with Resident Evil 4 it will be 'more exciting, more action and more tension'.

He went on to say: "You have the ability to feel more like an action hero," noted Kramer. "You will have the largest Arsenal of weapons in a Resident Evil game to date."

"The whole game is designed from ground up for co-op," he went on. "There will never be a point where Sheva is knocked on the head or stolen by Gremlins."

"It's totally changed the Resident Evil experience and it's as big a leap forward for the series as Resident Evil 4 was."

We loved Resident Evil 4 so much that we don't care about this new direction Capcom have taken. What do you think, valued reader? Still like controlling tanks?
